A method for the determination of tartaric acid enantiomers using CE with contactless conductivity detection has been developed. Cu( II ) as a central metal ion together with l ‐hydroxyproline were used as a chiral selector, the BGE was composed of 7 mM CuCl 2, 14 mM trans ‐4‐hydroxy‐ l ‐proline, and 100 mM ε‐aminocaproic acid; the pH was adjusted to 5 by hydrochloric acid. Separation with a resolution of 1.9 was achieved in 9 min in a polyacrylamide‐coated capillary to suppress the EOF. Various counterions of the BGE were studied, and migration order reversal was achieved when switching from ε‐aminocaproic acid to l ‐histidine. With detection limits of about 20 μM, the method was applied to the analysis of wine and grape samples; only l ‐tartaric acid was found.
